RE: Board of Zoning Appeals Action
Variance Application, VA-2000-014
Tax Map 76C, Parcel 2-2
Dear Ms. Long:
This letter is to inform you that your variance application, VA-2000-014, was heard by the Albemarle
County Board of Zoning Appeals on July 18, 2000. The Board ruled (4:1)to approve your request subject
to the following conditions:
1. The location and height of the trees within 25 feet of the tower site shall be surveyed and noted in this
file prior to issuance of the building permit for the tower. Should any trees on the survey be removed
for any reason-including but not limited to wind, rain, hail, tornado, hurricane-the tower shall be
shortened to be no more than 10 feet taller than the tallest remaining tree within 50 feet of the facility.
2. This variance is only for the 115 foot tower proposed in this file. Any modification will require
additional variance review.
This approval allows relief from Section 4.10.3.1 of the Albemarle County Zoning Ordinance to allow an
increase in allowable height of a tower in a residential district from 100 to 115 feet to allow construction of a
new wooden telecommunications pole.
If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact me.
Sincerely,
Jan Sprinkle
Chief of Zoning Administration
